The 10 best dentists near you, for the treatment you actually need.

It is free for patients. Every one of the 29,110 California practices is listed whether or not it has ever heard of us, because the listings are built from the public licence register rather than from sign-ups. A practice can claim its listing and add to it at no charge. We take no commission on your treatment and we do not sell your contact details.

Every listing carries a licence number from the state board’s own register, which you can check yourself — the number is on the page. Where we show opening hours, treatments or insurers, we read them from the practice’s own website and kept them only when the phone number on that page matched the federal register. We do not verify malpractice cover, we hold no fee schedules and we hold no case counts, and we say so rather than implying otherwise.

We publish no third-party reviews at all. The only reviews on this site come from patients a practice invited through us after an appointment it confirmed, and we publish whatever comes back — a practice can reply to one but cannot edit or remove it. Most listings therefore show no reviews, which is the honest state of things rather than an omission.

Only what you choose to send with an estimate request, and only the practices you are matched with receive it. Browsing, filtering and comparing require no account and no email address at all. We do not build advertising profiles, we do not sell data, and you can ask us to delete anything you have sent at any time.

Mostly because they are not quoting the same thing. Bundled versus unbundled components, different materials or implant systems, and whether preparatory work like grafting is inside or outside the number. We hold no fee data — not one California practice publishes a price, and we checked all 29,110 — so we cannot put a number on the gap, and anyone who does has not got it from the practices either. Every treatment page tells you which lines to insist on.

Tell us. We investigate every complaint, and a pattern of them removes a practice from the directory regardless of what they pay us. We are not a broker and we take no cut of your treatment, so we have no financial reason to protect a practice that is treating patients badly.

Not yet. We currently list 29,110 licensed dentists across California, built from the federal provider registry and state licence records, with more states to follow. If we do not yet list anyone in your ZIP, the search will tell you plainly and offer the nearest metro we do cover rather than quietly showing you results from two states away.
